My daddy...

Just a quick post to ask you to pray for my daddy tonight. He came up for an angiogram today after an "episode" yesterday. He fully expected to be out and on his way home and ready to start a track meet on Friday morning.

The results showed 6 spots that are 90% blocked and 1 that is 70% blocked. On Friday morning, he will have quadruple bypass. (UPDATE...Thursday...surgery has been rescheduled until Monday due to some "irregular" blood work.) My sister is here from Tennessee and we are all praising God for the "episode" that brought him to the hospital. Now we are praying for hands of the surgeon, doctors, medical staff...but more than anything, that the hands of God will be on my daddy during this journey.

Please raise him and my sweet mama up as they go through this. We have been down this road with Roy before and it is scary. But, we know that God is going to bless many through my daddy - he is a man of great determination and great faith...and for that example, I am thankful.
